I got the 1TB WD Black for $121.49 at the WD site. I also did not need a 10% email discount. Was out of stock but now back in stock.

I got this from Amazon for $80 after 20% off with rewards. This is not really a slick deal. I put it in a QNAP NAS with a $8 adapter to improve performance and it works well.

Also to add on it beats out the SN750 in general use and game loading. Not by a bunch in game loading, but its newer flash memory and controller make it very responsive.

The SN550 is Nvme. The WD Blue you linked to is SATA. Nvme drives can sequentially transfer about 4x faster than SATA drives.
